Thursday’s presidential debate will give voters a final chance to compare President Trump and Democratic nominee B Biden together during an event that provides both opportunities and difficulties for candidates for less than a week before the election program.
The debate is that controversy is rife around each candidate – and that debate too – and Congress is still negotiating economic stimulus measures for the coronavirus epidemic and pushing the Supreme Court nomination to the finish line.
It happens less than two weeks before election day which could delay results due to an increasing reliance on mail-in ballots across the country due to the epidemic. Will see results. Both parties are preparing teams of lawyers to fight the legal battle over the ballots that will reach the Supreme Court.
Biden called the presidential election a “battle of the soul of this nation,” while Trump said the contest was for a choice between the “American Dream” and the “Socialist Hell.” Both men have also gone on the attack, with Trump calling Biden’s family a “criminal venture” and Biden saying the president is “a national shame.”
How to watch the final hypothesis debate
With less than two weeks left in the 2020 presidential election cycle, here’s what to know about the final presidential debate:
Location and time
The discussion will be held at Belmont University, Tennessee in Nashville, and will begin at 9 p.m. ET, as will the first presidential debate and the vice-presidential debate. Like the previous President’s debate and the Vice-President’s debate, the debate will last two hours and does not involve any breaks.
Moderator
NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker will moderate the discussion.
Opportunity to change the pace of the campaign?
There are numerous inflation points during the presidential campaign that are likely to change momentum in one way or another. Conventions for each party can do that. So can the first presidential debate, which is often dangerous for an application facing a challenge far from the main debate. And the October October surprise, of course, is also potential.
But, apart from the big surprise over the next 12 days, this face-to-face meeting between Biden and Trump will probably be the last chance for any candidate to significantly change the pace of this race.
Going forward in the election Trump could bring it closer with a decisive debate victory. Or Biden, who is the frontrunner, could outperform his winning streak with a strong performance. Any candidate’s major gaps or poor performance can, of course, have the opposite effect.

Trump Hunter Biden is likely to bring email reports
Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller said Monday that Trump would cite reports on Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, by the New York Post if Welker did not come forward.
“If Kristen Welker, the mediator, doesn’t bring it forward, I think you’re too safe to assume the presidency,” Miller said, “Morning with Maria.” “Again, these are real simple questions.”
A report in the New York Post alleges that Big Biden met with his son’s Ukrainian business associate, based on emails allegedly from Hunter Biden from a laptop hard drive. The New York Post also reported on the business in China based on Hunter Biden’s laptop emails.
Biden called the reports a “smear campaign” and the Biden campaign said it had reviewed Biden’s “official timetable and no meeting was held, as alleged by the New York Post.”
The Supreme Court is not a subject
The Senate is set to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Connie Barrett on Monday. The Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled a vote Thursday afternoon to inform Barrett of the full Senate, just hours before the debate began. Biden’s running mate Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris have yet to say whether they will sue the Supreme Court if elected.
But the Supreme Court is not one of the issues that deserves change based on the new developments to be discussed during the debate.
Final Hypothesis DE: What’s different here
Topics of discussion are: Fighting Kovid-19; American Families; Races in America; Climate change; National security; And leadership. The subjects were selected by Welker.
It is likely that Trump will bring up the issue of the Supreme Court himself, however, as indicated by his campaign, he will refer to a possible Hunter Biden email story.
Candidates may have muted their mix at a particular time
After repeated interruptions by Trump during the first presidential debate – and some, but very few, by Biden – the Debate Commission announced that it would improve how both candidates would implement the agreed rules before the debate began.
Each candidate is given two uninterrupted minutes to speak at the beginning of each 15-minute issue, and on Thursday the microphone will be cut off for the candidate who is not speaking during that time. The mix of both candidates will be open to the rest of each segment, allowing candidates to intersect going forward on issues. The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) in its Mike Cutting announcement insisted that the Mike rule does not affect the rules of the whole debate.

A statement said that as agreed in accordance with the rules of discussion, each candidate should have 2 minutes of uninterrupted time to comment at the beginning of every 15-minute part of the discussion. “These comments follow a period of open discussion. Both campaigns reaffirmed their agreement for a 2-minute, uninterrupted rule again this week.”
The commission also said that if one candidate disrupts another disproportionately, “the time taken during any disruption will be returned to the other candidate.”
October 15 discussion canceled
Three presidential debates were originally planned, but another was canceled, making the October 22 debate the second and final of this election.
After Trump was diagnosed with the coronavirus, the CPA announced that what was to be the next presidential debate would happen virtually. This comes amid accusations of violating the rules of the debate hall and not wearing a mask during the first debate against Trump’s team.
Trump said he would refuse to participate in the virtual debate and that both candidates eventually made town halls duel instead of debate.
There was no formal explanation that the discussion was about foreign policy
Because the final presidential debate is traditionally about foreign policy, Trump and his team loudly objected that only 15 minutes of discussion on Thursday would be devoted to national security.
But there has been no such agreement and the issues have been left to the discretion of the arbitrators without limits.

Millions have already voted
As of Wednesday morning, about 38 million Americans had already voted in this presidential election, with early voting and extensive use of mail balloting. Texas and Vermont have already reached more than 50% of their 2016 voters and New Jersey, Georgia, New Mexico and Montana each have more than 40%.
This means that Thursday’s debate will leave fewer voters, no matter how it goes.
